This book encompasses recent and pertinent field of horticulture viz. crop breeding precision farming biotechnology therapeutic horticulture and post harvest practices covering fruits vegetables flowers and spices and plantations crops. The knowledge on recent research technologies viz. bioinformatics biotechnology transplastomics etc. will be helpful in production and consumption of horticultural crops. The practical application of breeding techniques like polyoidy and the selection technique will pave the way to increase the productivity. The exploitation of horticultural crops for the occurrence of antioxidants will serve for the human health and prevent the disease like cancer cardio vascular disease diabetics etc. The chapter organic farming for vegetable and plantation crops is more informative.
